Fig. 2 is the detailed diagram of set-top box of the present invention.
With reference to figure 2, set-top box 200 comprises all control units 210 of operation of controller top box 200.Control unit 210 links to each other with network interface unit 250, and network interface unit 250 couples together control unit 210 and network access device 100 and gateway 400.
Set-top box 200 also comprises storage device 240, necessary operating system of its storage operation and various program.Storage device 240 can be hard disk or flash memory, also can be other forms of memory.
Storage device 240 comprises: storage operation program, the program storage unit (PSU) 241 of explorer and related data; The control information memory cell of 500 controls of storage household electrical appliance and state information; And the screen message memory cell 243 of the control screen message of a plurality of household electrical appliance 500 of storage (Fig. 1).The screen message of screen message memory cell 243 storage user interfaces, the predefined resolution with TV 300 of user interface is consistent, and user interface language easily, and for example HTML (HTML) generates.
Set-top box 200 also comprises discriminating unit 220, the software that uses in the television set wherein is installed is constituted in hardware with other information and the required user's discriminating of other ancillary equipment.These ancillary equipment comprise: PC, and Web pads, set-top box and similar devices, they all pass through LAN line 10 and link to each other.Therefore, evaluator automatically performs.
Set-top box 200 also comprises transmission/receiving element 230, and its information sends TV 300 to, perhaps from TV 300 reception information.
Gateway 400 comprises power line is connected power line communication unit 410 and network interface unit 420 between household electrical appliance 500 and the gateway 400 that network interface unit 420 links to each other network access device 100 by LAN line 10 with set-top box 200.
Describe the operation and the effect of home network of the present invention in detail below with reference to Fig. 1 and Fig. 2.
In a kind of operator scheme, the user is by input unit 3 10 input informations and use the one or more household electrical appliance 500 of remote control unit 320 controls.After TV 300 received user's information, requirement was used for the information of the control screen of set-top box 200.Therefore, this requires signal to be sent to control unit 210 by the transmission/receiving element 230 of set-top box 200.
The control unit 210 of set-top box 200 is differentiated user's TV 300 by discriminating unit 220 according to the signal that requires of TV 300.If TV is differentiated that control unit 210 reads the data of screen message from screen message memory cell 243, and will be sent to TV 300 corresponding to the screen message of the user interface of screen message data by transmission/receiving element 230.
TV 300 shows the information that receives from set-top box 200 on its screen.The information that shows on User Recognition TV 300 screens, and by input unit 310 input control informations.The control information of user's input is sent in the set-top box 200 by TV 300.The information that the control unit 210 of set-top box 200 is transmitted according to canned data analysis in the control information memory cell 241, and the information after will analyzing is sent to gateway 400 by network interface unit 250.
Gateway 400 receives from the data of set-top box 200 outputs by gateway interface unit 420, and transmits data according to the data message that receives by power line communication unit 410.Therefore, corresponding household electrical appliance receive data by the power line modulator-demodulator (not shown) that is installed in the household electrical appliance 500 from power line 20, and according to the corresponding data executable operations that receives.
In this case, corresponding household electrical appliance 500 send to power line 20 with the information of relevant its state.Gateway 400 receives the state information of sending from household electrical appliance 500 by power line communication unit 410, and sends corresponding state information to LAN line 10 by network interface unit 420.
Set-top box 200 is by network interface unit 250 receiving status information from LAN line 10, and the state information of the household electrical appliance 500 that receive is stored in the control information memory cell 242.Control unit 210 will be sent in the TV 300 based on the user interface screen information that is stored in the data in the screen message memory cell 243 with based on the data that are stored in the state information in the control information memory cell 242 by transmission/receiving element 230.TV 300 makes the user can discern the state of corresponding household electrical appliance by being presented at screen from the information that set-top box 200 receives.
In another kind of operator scheme, the user imports a kind of internet incoming order by input unit 310, and is sent in the set-top box 200 with the corresponding signal of internet incoming order.The control unit 210 of set-top box 200 is carried out the explorer that is stored in the program storage unit (PSU) 241 according to above-mentioned internet incoming order.Control unit 210 is sent to explorer in the TV 300 by transmission/receiving element 230, and wherein explorer is by being stored in consistent with TV 300 resolution that user interface information in the screen message memory cell 243 is provided with.So explorer is presented on the screen of TV 300.
The control unit 210 of set-top box 200 is sent to network access device 100 by network interface unit 250 with corresponding information so that enter the Internet, and network access device 100 sends communication between set-top box 200 and internet.
As mentioned above, the invention provides a kind of home network system, wherein set-top box has the screen message and the control information of household electrical appliance, thereby the user controls household electrical appliance, and evaluator not necessarily.Do not need extra identification module so the advantage of home network system of the present invention is it, reduced the manufacturing cost of this home network system thus, saved the time and the expense of exploitation.And the present invention be advantageous in that set-top box can transmit and the corresponding information of TV resolution, so also there is no need to install extra video screen control device, thereby make the user can save the expense of buying screen control device, improve the convenience that the user utilizes home network system.
